Dublin bike rental scheme map
By
Awaycity has a handy Google map of all known locations for the much anticipated Dublin bike rental scheme.
The big question is how will the bikes survive? Turbulene Ahead has written that the experience in Paris is one of bikes being stolen and vandalised at an alarming rate.
The city council there has to replace bikes at a cost of €1.6 million a year. In these “challenging times”, there is zero chance of Dublin City Council funding replacements.
It’s really a great idea and hopefully the Paris experience won’t be repeated here.
